Greek Chicken and Rice Salad

IT'S HOT!!

After an extended rainy season, summer is here in full force. Surprisingly, though I'm still getting tons of greens in my veggie box because of the rainy season. Usually it's tomatoes and squash starting to come in at this point, so I've had to rethink my normal summer cooking strategies.

Salads are my answer. Spinach is actually well received by both my kids and they will eat anything with rice so I after reviewing the contents of my fridge (feta, olives, roasted red peppers from a jar), Greek food came to mind.

Don't overthink this, I'm giving you my version, but do like I did...go to your fridge and use whatever you find in there.

Mix the lemon zest and juice, garlic, oregano and olive oil in a large bowl. Taste and add salt and pepper until it tastes good to you.

Toss with the remaining ingredients. Taste again and adjust seasonings. This may mean adding more lemon juice or vinegar, salt pepper or even olive oil if it's too acidic. Be flexible and change up what you need to.
